Surprised nobody's raised another of JP's influences, and yet another STH 'inspiration' in Davy Gragan - 20s in: [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWeejHJxGjs"]https://www.youtube....h?v=tWeejHJxGjs[/url]

Much as I loved Zep, they were all over other peoples song like a rash. One of Davy Graham's contemporaries, Bert Jansch was royally riped off with the track Black Mountain side. I was aware of it at the time because one of my mates was a big Jansch fan. Some good examples here [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tiiY4ciKFQA"]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tiiY4ciKFQA [/url]
Of course they could be described as covers. But it would have helped if they had given credits.

So Led Zepp are cleared of the charge of plagiarism by a court of law but end up the best part of a million dollars out of pocket.

I guess the judge doesn't like them, but denying them their costs of defending themselves from a false allegation (as it turns out) doesn't seem like justice to me. Since when should the innocent party end up out of pocket?

Yes, I know they can easily afford their own costs, but that's not really the point is it!
